The present invention relates to a temperature control method for a switching heat exchanger group suitable for stable operation.
従来の切替式熱交換器群の温度制御法例をWIJ1図〜
第4図により説明する。Figure WIJ1 shows an example of the temperature control method for a conventional switching heat exchanger group.
This will be explained with reference to FIG.
第1図は、空気分離装置に適用される切替式熱交換器の
構成図で、切替式熱交換器lOは、流路A。FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a switching type heat exchanger applied to an air separation device, and the switching type heat exchanger IO is connected to the flow path A.
B、C,D、Eの5流路から連成されている。It is connected to five channels B, C, D, and E.

一定方向に流通する。Flow paths A and H, which are switched at regular intervals, carry raw air fed to the air separation device (not shown) or return gas discharged from the air separation device, and flow paths C and Di
Here, the product oxygen and product nitrogen separated from the raw material air by the air separation device, and the reheated gas flow in the flow path E in a fixed direction.

冷却され、原料空気に含有されていた水分と炭酸ガスは
流路Aの伝熱面に析出する。For example, the raw material 9 is passed through channels C and D while flowing through channels.
The air is cooled by exchanging heat with the flowing product oxygen and product nitrogen, and the moisture and carbon dioxide contained in the feed air are deposited on the heat transfer surface of the flow path A.

、その他に、空気分離装置で分離された製品ガス。Of the water and dry ice deposited on the heat transfer surface of the flow path that is switched at regular intervals, in order to effectively scavenge and remove dry ice with the return gas, the temperature of the raw air and the return gas must be adjusted. The difference needs to be less than or equal to the temperature difference (hereinafter abbreviated as scavenging temperature difference) at which dry ice can sufficiently remove scavenging air by sublimation. In a switching heat exchanger, as shown by the solid line in Figure 2, the temperature difference between the feed air and the return gas tends to increase as you go from the hot end to the cold end.
If the scavenging air temperature difference is greater than or equal to the one-dot chain line in Figure 2 from the part below 25 K8 to the cold end, dry ice scavenging removal becomes worse. Therefore, reheated gas is passed through the flow path E and adjusted so that the temperature difference between the raw air and the return gas is equal to or less than the scavenging temperature difference, as shown by the broken line in Figure 2. In addition, although it is common to use a part of the raw material air cooled by the switching type heat exchanger IO as the reheated gas, product gas separated by the air separation device may also be used.

換器群の温度を適正に制御する必要がある。In air separation equipment, such a switched heat exchanger
As shown in the figure, at least 21 switching heat exchangers are installed in parallel and applied, but variations in fluid resistance are unavoidable even if each switching heat exchanger is manufactured with the same specifications, and switching heat exchangers are connected in parallel. Variations occur in the fluid resistance of the stop piping or the fluid resistance of the valves installed in the piping, resulting in an unbalance in the flow rate distribution, and as a result, a temperature unbalance phenomenon occurs in each part of the switching heat exchanger. . As described above, when a temperature imbalance phenomenon occurs in each part of the switching heat exchanger, only a specific switching heat exchanger is supercooled, making it impossible to stably operate the switching heat exchanger group. Therefore, in order to prevent this, it is necessary to appropriately control the temperature of the switching heat exchanger group so that a temperature imbalance phenomenon does not occur in each part of each switching heat exchanger.
従来、切替式熱交換器群の温度制御は、次のように打わ
れている。Conventionally, temperature control of a group of switching heat exchangers has been performed as follows.

The outlet temperature of the reheated gas of m is set as a reference control temperature, and the other switching type heat exchanger 10b is set at this reference control temperature.

When the outlet temperature of the reheat gas of b and loc is high, the flow rate of the reheat gas of the other switching heat exchangers 1110b and 10c is adjusted to increase, and when it is low, the flow rate is adjusted to decrease. be done.

きなくなる。If the temperature difference between the raw air and the return gas at the cold end of the switching type heat exchanger is large, the temperature difference between the raw air and the return gas at the same cross section of the cold end of the heat exchanger, as shown by the solid line in Figure 4, is large. If the temperature difference between the scavenging air and the scavenging gas is greater than or equal to the scavenging air temperature difference shown by the dashed line in Figure 4,
If dry aisle zero scavenging air removal is poor, the switching heat exchanger group cannot be operated stably as a result. Conversely, if the temperature difference between the feed air and the return gas at the cold end of the switching heat exchanger is small, the flow rate of the feed air will be greater than the total flow rate of the return gas, product oxygen, and product nitrogen. When a small amount is used, the temperature difference between the raw air flowing through the end of the switching heat exchanger and the return gas, product oxygen, and product nitrogen becomes large, and the recovery of cold heat becomes poor, and the switching heat exchanger If there is a large temperature difference between the raw air and the return gas at the same cross section in the middle of the vessel, the fourth
As shown by the broken line in the figure, there are areas where the temperature difference is higher than the scavenging air temperature difference, and in this case as well, dry ice cannot be effectively removed by the scavenging air, and as a result, the switching heat exchanger group cannot be operated stably. It disappears.

る。The present invention aims to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks, and sets a switching heat exchanger as a standard for temperature control among a group of switching heat exchangers. The outlet temperature of the reheated gas in the switching heat exchanger is determined so that the temperature difference between the outlet temperature of the feed air and the inlet temperature of the return gas in the exchanger satisfies the scavenging temperature difference. The standard control temperature is compared with the detected outlet temperature of the reheated gas in the standard switching type heat exchanger, and the standard switching type is adjusted so that the outlet temperature of the reheated gas matches the standard switching type heat exchanger. The flow rate of reheat gas in the heat exchanger is adjusted, and in other switching heat exchangers, the outlet temperature of the reheat gas detected in the reference switching heat exchanger is used as the control target temperature. , the control target temperature is compared with the detected outlet temperature of the reheated gas in the other switching type heat exchanger, and the other switching type heat exchanger is set so that the outlet temperature of the reheated gas matches the control target temperature. While adjusting the flow rate of reheat gas in the heat exchanger, the reference control temperature is determined to be the temperature between the detected raw material air outlet temperature and the returned gas inlet temperature! ! The switchable heat exchanger balances the temperature of the switchable heat exchanger group and effectively scavenges and removes dry ice deposited on the heat transfer surface of the flow path that is switched at regular intervals. The present invention provides a temperature control method for a switchable heat exchanger group that allows stable operation of the exchanger group.

換器の温度制御は次のように行われる。An embodiment of the present invention will be explained with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. FIG. 5 is a flow sheet of a group of switchable heat exchangers in which the present invention is implemented. The outlet temperature of the reheated gas in c is detected by the temperature detectors 40a to 40c each time the flow paths of the switchable heat exchangers 10m to 10C are switched, and the outlet temperature of the raw air and the inlet of the reheated gas are detected. The temperature is detected by the temperature detectors 41a to 41C# 42m-42c once every several flow path changes, and these detected temperatures are the temperatures already stored in the control device. The memory is updated. Next, temperature control of each switching type heat exchanger is performed as follows.

の弁開度を調節し再熱ガスの流通量を調整する。First, among the switching heat exchangers 10 a to 10 c, a switching heat exchanger (hereinafter abbreviated as a reference heat exchanger) is set as a reference for temperature control. If the reference heat exchanger is set as a switching heat exchanger, for example, the switching heat exchanger 10M will have the outlet temperature of the reheated gas and the outlet temperature of the raw air, which have been detected and stored and updated in the controller. The control device I compares the temperature difference between the temperature difference between the temperature difference between the temperature difference between the temperature at the inlet temperature of the reheated gas and the outlet temperature of the reheated gas (hereinafter referred to as the reference control temperature), which is arbitrarily determined so that the temperature difference between the temperature at the inlet of the returned p-gas satisfies the scavenging temperature, The controller I3o controls the flow rate control valve 22a so that the temperature of the reheated gas matches the reference control temperature.
The flow rate of reheat gas is adjusted by adjusting the opening degree of the valve.

22b。For example, if the detected temperature of the reheated gas is higher than the standard control temperature, the flow rate of the reheated gas is increased, and conversely,
If low, reduce dose. At the same time, in the other switchable heat exchangers 1110b and 10c, the switchable heat exchanger 10
Using the detected outlet temperature of the reheated gas of m as the control target temperature, the detected and updated reheated gas outlet temperatures of the other switching heat exchangers 10b and 10c and the control target temperature are set. A comparison is made in the controller 30, and the controller controls the flow control valve 22b so that the detected outlet temperature of the reheated gas of the other switching heat exchangers 10b, 10c matches the control target temperature.
22cの弁開度を調節し再熱ガスの流通量を調整する。The flow rate of the reheated gas is adjusted by adjusting the opening degree of the valve 22c.

と戻りガスとの温度差が掃気温度差を越えるよう。For example, if the detected outlet temperature of the reheat gas of the other switching heat exchanger 10 b is higher than the control target temperature, the flow rate of the reheat gas of the other switching heat exchanger 10 b is increased. Conversely, if it is low, reduce the amount. In this way, the outlet temperature of the reheated gas in the switchable heat exchanger group is controlled in equilibrium.However, the outlet temperature of the raw material 9 in the switchable heat exchanger is kept at the same temperature due to variations in fluid resistance. In some cases, the temperature difference between the outlet temperature of the feed air and the inlet temperature of the return gas may cause the temperature difference between the feed air and the return gas at the cold end of the switching heat exchanger to cause the scavenge temperature difference. Let's overcome it.

。The upper limit is the temperature difference between the inlet temperature of the feed air and the inlet temperature of the return gas, and the temperature difference between the feed air and the return gas at the middle part of the switching heat exchanger exceeds the scavenging temperature difference. The temperature difference between the exit temperature of the raw material 9 and the inlet temperature of the return gas, whose lower limit is the temperature difference between the outlet temperature of the 9 gas and the inlet temperature of the return gas, may not exceed the allowable value (hereinafter abbreviated as the tolerance value). be.

には、現状の基準制御温度を低い値に変更する。(1) If there is at least one switching heat exchanger in which the temperature difference between the detected outlet temperature of the raw air and the inlet temperature of the returned gas is outside the allowable value. If the temperature difference from the inlet temperature exceeds the upper limit of the allowable value, the
As shown by the solid line in Figure 4, if the temperature difference between the raw air and the returned gas detected at the cold end of the switching heat exchanger exceeds the scavenging temperature difference, dry ice is effectively removed once. In order to remove the scavenging air, as shown in Figure 6, the flow rate of the reheated gas is increased to lower the outlet temperature of the reheated gas, and this lowers the outlet temperature of the raw material beating air. It is necessary to ensure that the detected temperature difference between the raw air and the returned gas at the cold end of the exchanger is equal to or less than the scavenging temperature difference. Therefore, in this case, the current reference control temperature is changed to a lower value.
